From a German perspective, I am always surprised how much our house construction in Germany/Europe differs from so many house construction techniques in the world. This house in the video is actually made of wood with some panelling. Even the simplest houses in Germany are built with massive concrete walls. I really wonder how this very different construction technique came about. Because there is not such a huge difference in temperature between Germany and New Zealand. On average, Germany is perhaps 3-4 degrees Celsius colder than New Zealand. But I can hardly imagine whether that justifies the building site, which is much more massive. There is also no house in Germany without a basement, which seems to be unusual in many other countries.

Hey Mr H8ter No1. I have had similar queries to yours from lots of European trades people regarding NZ construction methodologies. Some of the primary reasons for the difference in construction elements and methodologies is because New Zealand has some of the most extreme weather variability in the world - one day it can be 35 degrees and the next day it can literally be snowing. I mean it, I've experienced it. Then you can get all the other weathering elements in between, in any given week. Furthermore, with regard to concrete (I love concrete), my understanding is that NZ is very earthquake prone, and therefore, reinforcing concrete and placing lots of it (walls and foundations) on land which can't handle that much weight without serious resources put in to making the land solid bearing, is problematic and costly. The land here is a patchwork of various technical categories which are more earthquake and flood prone than other parts of the world. Also we grow lots of trees and timber is much cheaper. Timber also has a lower carbon footprint than concrete. Timber is also flexible and can potentially stand up to an earthquake quite well......depending on how far away the epicentre is and how strong the quake is.... Anyway, that is my understanding and I would be wrong. There are lots of other reasons too. There are lots of variables.

Stick to how you build in Europe. Miles ahead of typical building in NZ. Our building code lets us build to a very basic standard, but we should be building to a much higher standard. We've continued to build using "match sticks" which we did initially because of the abundance of trees we had in NZ when we were clearing land for residential building. Essentially we haven't evolved the bulk building we do beyond this outdated technique since then.

House without roof is an ugly house.

Really good overview man of the whole procedure, and a sick soundtrack to go with it.

Questions. So many questions. Why the wood pilings under the foundation? The framing was obviously pre-assembled, but what is the pink stain? Is that some sort of insect/water proofing or simply the supplier's mark? All the cross members between the studs gives significant racking strength. Earthquake requirement? Is rockwool insulation typical in NZ? Is the sheathing bonded to a foam layer like the ZIP system in the States? Taping the seams? I would have loved to see a window install detail to see how water-proofing is achieved. Would have also liked to see the rain screen install under the rock facade.

Wicked location and build man. Lovely work.

What was the cost to build this place not including land?

@PWingert1966

Жыл бұрын

In Canada that would be about 1.5 mill and another 650,000 for the land. Looks like about 3500 sq ft give or take. No basement which might be an issue here in Canada. Pile driven foundations are not a common technology since basements are prevalent here. That would necessitate a full truss design and basement construction using poured rebar to create a complete unit that would move as a unit in the event of ground shift and manage the truss system that supports the main floor. Those would add a few percent onto the budget for materials engineering and specialized labor. Some issues may arise with building code compliance being different in Ontario for example the in NZ. But the figures should be decently in the ballpark. Fit and finishes could alter the price by 10% either way as well as insulation and hard surface choices such as the flooring could impact estimate. Resale value could be about$ 2.54 million after a couple of years.

As a former builder in NZ, the piles are a common occurrence over here - treated to H3 (H4 is used in Termite zones, ie not in NZ & 5 being marine grade). H1 is used for formwork/boxing for concrete footings; H2 is generally used for the internal structural framework with an H3 bottom plate - anything that touches concrete -- if a concrete slab is used, then there's a damp-proof layer between the concrete & the bottom plate; if it's timber floor atop timber piles/bearers & joists, the damp-proofing is optional ). Don't worry about the regs re their use tho - NZ councils/building inspectors are very strict about what goes into a building over here!

Also, those piles are probably treated on the surface with a penetrating chemical that will limit any moisture.

The framing wood was a reddish or pinkish color. What does that signify? After some time in the rain, it looked like color faded away. Nice use of insulation under the slab. Great details for rebar, thicken edges, concrete beams, and expansion joints. While it is hard to build a home in 10 minutes, it is possible to build one in under 1 month.
